Disease I'm Sheen.

A soft, puffy swelling uader the jaws
is a symptom of various diseases in sheep
arising from impoverished blood and
dropSical condition. This is ca Ised by
anything which prevents full nutrition
and oxidation of the blood. Thu dis
or.ler of the liver caused by the presence
in it and in the gall bladder of parasites
known as tiukes, produce his puffy SWELL
ing thread worms in the thr6at and
lungs also cause this swelling under the
jaw, which contains watery serum. 1t is
also produced by the injurious effect of
grubs in the head, which weaken the
sheep. When fiukes infest the liver the
whites of tEe eyes are yellow when
worms exist in the throat the eyes are
bloodless and pale and the skin Is thin
and white, and grubs in the head cause II

being made, it was found that some
trickery was afloat. The matter was
put into the hands of the police, and
Inspectors Glidden and McCausland dis
covered that the parcel of goods was taken
from the Eastern depot TO that OF the Boston
d Albany, and that the wrappers were
changed and then directed to Mrs. Wander
pool, with instructions to the officials to keep
the parcel until called for. Further inquiry

cuped apartments in Boylston street, Chester
park, Worcester square, and ot9er. fashion
able quarters. From the description given

In Dec, 1885, |. s. johnson & Co, = Custom
House ST., Boston, Mass. offered eight premi-
ums payable In gold coin, which they say crea-
ted great interest among people who kept
hens, so much 50, In fact, that they authorize
us TO say that they shall offer Nov. LIST 1881,
another list Of premiums for the bests results
from the use OF Sheridans Powder 70 Make
Hens Lay. OF course all who compete cannot
get one Of the premiums. but some OF the last
years reports sent Us show that he parties
ought 20 have been well satisfied II they had
not received any other benefit than the in-
crease OF eggs they got while making the trial.
For example the first premium was twenty
nve dollars taken by g. A French, Washirg z
ton, \. II. who fed thirty hens the Sheridan's
Powder Tor eight weeks. The first week he got
only ten eggs: the third week the hens laid 20l
eggs, and the eighth week 20S eggs. During the
eight weeks trial he got 1928 eggs which, at the
price Of eggs In Boston or New York markets
In mid-winter, would have yielded $500, or
$l;bS for each hen In eight weeks time. Con-
animal on q farm will pay like that The
fourth premium, which was ten dollars, went
20 Mrs, e. B. Carlin, Conklin Centre, N. Y,
who in the eight weeks received from forty
hens l70l egg. The first week she only got
86 eggs, but the last week 277 eggs.
This clearly demonstrates that the use OF
Sheridan's Powder to Make Hens Lay Will in
Grease the profit several hundred per cent.
johnson q Co. will send two p cent packs OF
sheridan'e Powder postpaid to any address for
20 cents in postage stamps; or large TX pound

Rat.Proof Corn Cribs.

N. ]. Shephesd writes to the Pr1iris
FIR ner that ter he had been unable to
exclude rats from his corn crib by ordi-
nary means, he lined it W tn hemlock
plank six inches wide. and covered the
flor and ceiling with the same mate ial,
placing the plank about one fourth of an
inch apart. Not rat has found its way
into the crib since. NJ CO. however,
have found entrlnce; they seem able to
gnaw hemlock, while rats cannot. To
exclude these he would lay the floor with
plank from four to six inches wide, with
inch spaces between them to admit ven.
tilation for the corn, and then cover the
whole with woven wire with meshes
VIII CHI m ce cannot pass. Nail on the
ms do of the studs woven wire strong
enough to resist the pressure of the corn,
and with me>hes to exclude mice Then
nail woven wire on the cross pieces over
head. The floor wire and that overhead
need not be very heavy. Such a CRIB
will shut out both rats and mic and let
in more air than any other. Its extra
cost will be repaid in a few years in
clean, sound, well dried and unnlbbled
corn.

Cleanliness and Order in tho Dairy.


Cleanliness and Order in the Dairy.
Canon Bagot, an English authority in
Dairyng, seems to he digging into some
musty practices in the British Isles. In
recent lecture on "Dairy Farming, he
states that it was not the COW which pro-
duced the milk alone, but the food and
water which they put into her, for the
animal was only the machine which pro-
duced the milk and cream. He impressed
upon his audience the necessity there was
for treating their cows with gentleness,
as in case a dairymaid or any one else
ill-treated COW, then she would not let
down her milk, and evil results would
follow. A COW must be MIXED with
quickuess, and no time ought to be lost
in getting the milk strained into the
settling pans. Upon the great necessity
for cleanliness, that the milk might pro-
duce the greatest quantity of good cream,
he said milk ought to be shallow in sum
mer and deep in winter in the pans
But if they allowed their cream to
remain too long on the milk it became
sour, and this effectrally stopped the
farmer obtaining good price for his but
ter. He belieged that great MANY
samples Of butter shown at the recent
country show at York, were bad solely
owing to the cream not bay.ng been
taken from he milk until it had begun
to decompose. Replying TO the question,
how long should they kesp their cream

How to Get Rid of Canada Thistles

Several correspondents make the old
query of how to get rid of Canada thistles.
The only way that has met with general
success is to prevent the tops from grow
lug until the roots die of exhaustion, or
in other words, until the plant dies from
want of air and light. The reason why
the Canada thistle is so hard to kill out is
because the roots are not only perennial
but they spread by underground root.
stocks, /. e., stems that branch off I'M
der ground and produce new plants.
These perennial roots aud root-stocks are
several inches below the d9pth of the
ordinary furrow cut, and are not usually
turned up in stirring or breaking the
ground. One blowing merely puts the
land in nice filth for them to come
up and make good crop of vigorous
shoots, as with an asparagus bed. To
kill them the land must be continuously
plowed or the thIstles otherwise cut off
for one, two or three summers. Enough
time should not eapse between the
blowing to allow the thistles to get up
and get Their breath, so to speak. In
hoed crops they are sometimes killed
ouI NY giving CohstauI attention. w.
servation leads to the belief that the
seeds are very uncertain if grown far
North. Many isolated patches are grown
in Chicago on vacant lots and along un.
improved streets. These seem to spread
rather slowly by the underground root
stocks, but their absence in adjoining
lots and streets as favorably situated in.
dicates that the seeds are not perfect. -

Making Cream Churn Easily.

A lady friend, an experienced and SIC
cessful butter maker, thus explains how
she makes the butter come quickly as
cold weather approaches She keeps
the cream crock in the cellar as cool as
possib 9, and as the natural result it is
too cool for good butter making, If the
cram is directly heated over the fire it
is apt to make soft butter, as every
housewife knows. What she does is to
take a qulrt or a little more of sweet
milk, heat it quickly over the fire, and
then mix it W tn the cream already in the
churn, aiding enough 10 bring it up to
the right tenpeFa ure. The butter comes
very quickly by this method, and is not
made soft late in the season. It is not a
plan so well adapted to butter making
in hot weather, for then the cream, unless
kept on ice, usually needs no warming.
Some use hot water instead Of milk, but
the advantages of the latter is that the
warm, sweet mi k imparts better fayo or
to the butter and greatly improves the
buttermiIk, besides, of course, making
more of it.
There is probably only very small in.
crease Of butter that comes directly from
the heated sweet milk. Possibly this
furnishes no butter; but it does separate
the butter particles more perfectly from
the cream than is possible otherwise.
The yield OF cream and butter from milk
should under most circumstances natu-
rally increase in proportion to the milk
as the amount of the butter is lessened.
A farrow COW five or six months after
calving gives less but richer milk than
she does at first. But what avals this
to the butter maker, if he or she cannot
separate the butter from the cream in
which it is enclosed Adding warm
sweet milk seems to entirely remove this
difficulty, and has many other incidental
advantages. - Culti0dt0r.
